LAST FALL Skidmore celebrated its 10th year as a partner of the Davis Unit- ed World Scholars Program, which pro- vides financial aid for students from 14 UWC schools around the world. At a gala anniversary event, Skidmore Pres- ident Philip Glotzbach reported that the percentage of international students on campus has grown from 1% a decade ago to about 9% this year. He added, “We have hired 25 international faculty members into tenure-track positions,


created the Friendship Family Program with local residents, and developed a range of academic, cultural, and social activities” to serve international stu- dents and to enhance global under- standing across the entire student body. The stated goal of the United World College movement is to make educa- tion a force to unite people, nations, and cultures for a peaceful, sustainable future. Here are a few of Skidmore’s Davis UWC scholars living that mission:
